I would get rid of one of your 19 degree clubs. Or I would look at the course I was about to play and see what club I probably wouldn't hit.  the pro a lot of times take wedges in and out of clubs depending on what they need for specific rounds. One thing is maybe find a launch monitor and hit all yoru clubs and find a good sistance between each club and see what one you could part with.

If you can't get rid of your 5 wood, get rid of the 3H. I don't see a reason to keep two of the same degree clubs.  If you can't part with either of them then get rid of your putter.

Probably dump the 3 hybrid. You can choke up on the 5W a little if you need to shave some distance off.

Are there courses where you would prefer the 3H over the 5W?

I am assuming you are very comfortable with the 5 wood on and off the tee. If yes, you could remove the 3 wood.  You would lose a bit off the tee, but you would be hitting with a club you are very comfortable with.  Do you use the 3w for anything other than tee shots?  I wouldn't take out any scoring clubs, 8 iron through wedges.

I'd say seriously reconsider dropping the 5 Wood but if you're dead against it then you should drop the 19* Hybrid and switch the 4 iron for a 22*/23* Hybrid.

The hybrid won't be as workable as an iron by it'll give you a flexible option for blasting out of the rough on wayward par 4 and 5 drives.

Toss the putter.

Putt with your 4 iron.

Or...

Toss your 4 iron. Seriously...you should be able to choke down on the 3 hybrid ... or hood your putter if you need some extra distance.

dump the hybrid.

My RBZ 5wood clearly pounds out of nearly everything you can think of...

I have the adams hybrids ... love em... but when I put the rbz5wood in I took it out. it was superfluous.

If you can't take the 5 wood out of the bag, then dump the hybrid. Makes no sense to carry 2 long clubs of the same loft unless they get you very different results. If that's the case, then I agree with old1964, dump the 4 iron and just choke down on the hybrid.....

You're either a FW guy or a hybrid guy, so the clear options are 3 woods and 1 hybrid, or a 2/2 split. I'd drop the 5 wood and pickup a 4h to match the 3h. Having the pair you'll use them more, and get better with them... Making the 5w obsolete. If you're like my dad... And need the 5w... You could probably drop the 3h and pick up a 4h and 5h pair! JK! I make fun of his 7w!

My current thinking is that maybe you get rid of the 4iron. I can see a need for the hybrid, even if it is a duplicate.

Maybe get rid of the 3hy and the 4iron and get a 4 hybrid. ???

I am keeping my 5 wood as well. But I need to decide between the 5 iron and the 5 hybrid.

Good luck.

I'd get rid of one of your wedges. With a little know how, you can do everything with 3 wedges that you can do with 4. 

I use to carry 4 wedges. Now I only carry 2, while incorporating my 9i into some of my wedge siuations.

I agree with the others that say get rid of the 5w or 3h, on the surface it doesn't seem to make sense to have two 19* clubs.

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

    • For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...  
    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?
    • Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }
    • Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
